| After being mildly irritated by the hover animation for the default Windows 8 start button, I finally decided to get around to replacing it with a version of the Windows 7 start button posted on the forums here. I'm now being slightly less irritated by that button's hover animation. I'd love to have... |

| It isn't "Windows 7" style either. I purchased a copy of the international version of 8.1, and I had exactly the same thing show up until I finished coercing everything into American English alone. I assume it looks the same in Windows 10 as well. |

| Ever since the most recent update to Windows 10, I've seen a lot of people complaining about how the start menu was changed to always have the All Apps menu expanded, and asking if there's a way to get the old style back. If they're not using tiles, I recommend Classic Shell to them. Classic Shell i... |

| Okay, I see. There just happens to not be any explicit accelerators that don't use the first letter, then, but if there were that letter would be highlighted instead. |

Okay, that does work.
The accelerator underlining still does seem weird. At least on my system, it looks like by default, only the Control Panel, Help and Support, and Run links get the underlining when you press Alt. |

It's not jumping between them, it's just jumping to Computer and sitting there no matter how many times I press Alt-C. Computer doesn't have the accelerator underline, either.
Alt-R does immediately open Run, so that part of the functionality is working for me. |

| I wouldn't expect Classic Shell to include web results in its searches any time soon. It feels too outside the goals of the project, especially when Windows 10 has its own search bar. If you have Firefox, it can route Windows-created searches through your default search provider. There's also a less... |

I had to do that myself for one of the patches that wasn't properly downloading. In theory, this means that it should be possible to cripple Windows Update and then ins... |

I'm hoping that at some point Windows 10 lets you not have them. Right click uninstallation was kind of nice, although the fact that I found it so useful says somethi... |

| Reasonable question in general, though. The Classic Start Menu can be easily temporarily disabled, but I can't figure out a way to remove the other two parts without completely uninstalling the whole set. Heck, I can't even figure out if there is a process to kill, is everything in Classic Explorer ... |

The missing icons can also all be manually toggled off in settings, so not having them isn't horribly broken. My one conce... |

| Yeah, I asked partially because the classic start menu already seems to have a decent grasp on what apps are and how to handle them. I wouldn't really expect integrated desktop program uninstallation any time soon, if ever. |

That will let you run the start menu normally while still leaving any other tweaks on, in case you decided to override the taskbar color or ... |
